Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself. I am a licensed clinical social worker and licensed addictions counselor who has additional specialized training in integrated trauma treatment including an evidenced based practice called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I have been working with and supporting adults and adolescents in individual and group therapy for the last 20 years. I have extensive experience, expertise and training in trauma-informed evidence based practices. Throughout my practice I have partnered with individuals who are overwhelmed and have found themselves in challenging life circumstances simply due to the ups and downs that life has thrown their way and the resultant anxiety, depression, grief & loss, substance use and/or trauma. I am committed to providing a safe, holding space for individuals who are struggling to feel seen, heard and honored. My goal is to be certain that your voice is heard and that you are able to honor your strengths and see your way to the other side of life's challenges. With your permission, it is my goal to assist you in developing coping skills to deal with your current challenges and those you may encounter in the future. I look forward to walking alongside you as you become the strong, confident person you were always meant to be. Thank you again for letting me introduce myself. You have taken a very big step by reaching out. I would be honored to support you on your journey. “Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.” ― Mary Anne Radmacher

Hello, my name is Melissa and I am an MSW and LCSW, with more than 15 years in the mental health field. I graduated with honors in 2005 from Indiana University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. In 2009, I obtained a master's degree in social work from Indiana-Purdue University. I received my clinical social work license from the state of Indiana in 2011 and then from the state of Colorado in 2015 after I traded in cornfields for mountains. Over the last 15 years I've been lucky enough to work with a lot of different populations in many different settings. I sort of feel like I've done it all, like if the mental health field was a menu I've ordered almost everything on it. I hope that means that I bring many years of well-rounded experience to the table. A famous author once said, “The most important things are the hardest to say… because words diminish them. Words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.” That’s why I’m so glad you’re here. Therapy and talking to someone about your fears and anxieties and other things you’re going through can be really helpful. Those thoughts and feelings that seem really overwhelming? You may realize they are actually pretty tiny when we bring them into the light and take an honest look. Or maybe they’re not. Maybe they’re as big as you thought they might be. And, we can do something about those, too. My therapy style is a relaxed mix of CBT (thinking about thinking), DBT, solution-focused, and motivational dialogue. But, maybe the most important thing to know up front is that therapy and therapists are not a ‘one size fits all’. If we talk and you decide I’m not quite what you need, that is absolutely okay because you are the most important part of this process. You are the driver. This is your time to get to know yourself better in a safe and confidential space so that you can live a life that feels like it’s really yours. I’m really glad you’re here.

My passion has always been related to serving others. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to share your story and to walk beside you as we navigate your past, present, and future. I strive to instill hope by discovering insights, exploring your goals, and developing solutions together that I can guide you in accomplishing. Circumstances of our life or our experiences can sometimes leave us feeling alone, betrayed, hurt, vulnerable, anxious, angry, and any other combination of feelings that can feel overwhelming. I’m here to serve as a guide in exploring your experiences with a reflective lens so that we can learn from those and identify ways we can help you grow to your fullest potential. ~About Me and My Background: I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Professional Counseling, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. Holding a variety of memberships in professional counseling organizations, I’m always striving to learn and apply techniques that will most benefit my clients. From a young age, I discovered I was always highly aware of the emotions of those around me and had an innate ability to understand those emotions on a deeper level. As a natural empath, I have spent my life trying to expand my knowledge and understanding of people through listening past just the words spoken. After serving in the Air Force for 12 years, I turned my focus to serving others as a counselor who could use my life experiences and training to guide others to a healthier and more fulfilled life. As a combat veteran, there are also unique aspects of the military related to families and marriage, career transition, relocation and life change stressors, crisis, and trauma that I have been blessed to assist others in navigating. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families, as well as children and adolescents that are struggling with such issues as depression, anxiety, communication, self-esteem, relationship issues, trauma, etc. In addition, I have had direct experience with counseling and facilitating support groups with issues surrounding infertility, miscarriage and stillbirth, unplanned pregnancies, and abortions. I also work with my clients on resilience building through relationship strengthening, confidence building, pre-marital counseling, and other goals that we identify that they would like to accomplish. ~My Approach: Caring for your mental-health should never be thought of as a weakness. Sometimes people can just feel stuck, need another perspective of a situation, or a listening ear. I want to form a genuine and caring therapeutic relationship so that you can feel at ease and cared for. Whether I work with clients for a short time or our time is prolonged, my primary focus is on my client and specifically what they want to achieve during the time we have together. I primarily use a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to analyze a client’s story and construct new thought processes around their experiences and ways that they can overcome obstacles that they may be experiencing. I also utilize Client/Person-Centered Therapy and other techniques such as Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness to fully understand my clients and their situations and work towards achieving a healthy balance in their lives.

With over 4 years of experience in the Social Service field, I pride myself on my dedication to the safety, wellbeing and stabilization of the children, adults, and families that I works with. My creativity allows me to utilize a series of treatment modalities to assist in successfully empowering my clients while meeting their psychological needs. My approach is non-judgmental, client-focused and strength-based which encourages my clients to freely engage in the planning and goal identification of their own treatment. A few modalities that I specializes in are: Psycho-Educational, EMDR, Play, Sand Tray, Accelerated Resolution, Solution Focused, Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I often incorporates the Stages of Change in my treatment in efforts to meet my clients, “where they are at”. I have earned a Master’s degree in Social Work and one in Public Administration. As a serious student, I've maintained a 3.97 GPA in both programs. In addition, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Qualified Supervisor and Substance Abuse Professional. I have provided services to many different populations and have embraced my time and experiences as learning opportunities and growth. I have worked in Child Protection, Program and Youth Development; along with Individual, family, Couples and Group Therapy. I have created curriculums and written proposals to establish and maintain well needed Independent Living Skills programs for adolescents that were aging out of foster care. I understand that although the typical social service organizations are closed during the evening and weekend hours, this does not mean that our clients are not in need of services. Therefore, I am often willing and able to meet with my clients during these times.

My name is Marisol Cruz, and I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have 24 years of experience working as a school counselor with children from kindergarten through 12th grade. I have worked with students with various diagnoses. My main objective in working with students is to help them by supporting and guiding them so they can carry on a daily routine in school and any environment. A partnership is developed, whereby children and adolescents are actively involved in helping to create personal growth and development in their lives. I work with families (not family counseling), helping them to create an environment that will establish routines at home so that the changes can be implemented and the children and adolescents feel a sense of support and accountability. I offer wraparound services to help families with the resources they need to live productive lives. Also, I provide services for adults with mild/ moderate depression, anxiety, relational support, life coaching, and more. Sessions will focus on the clients and their immediate needs. At the start of the sessions, we will discuss anything on their mind, then concentrate on the main goal of the therapy session and work together towards meeting expectations. The therapeutic process will be empathetic and compassionate, and the client should feel safe to express themselves in a non-judgmental environment.
